Not right now. Allen is still ascending and he's already a top 3 QB in the NFL in 2020. He is the perfect prototype of a QB physically, mentally, emotionally and competitively. He really is a cyborg in that way. I expect (and really hope) to see Allen go a long stretch of games without missing one. He's built to last. His deep ball accuracy is what's keeping him from being the best right now. Those 2 deep passes to Diggs yesterday were super encouraging, and if he were to more consistently make those passes accurately the way Mahomes, Rodgers and Wilson do and protect the ball a little better, yes I would agree he's the best in 2020. He's still getting better, though, and best QB in 2020 isn't even his ceiling, anyway. Dude has decent shot to be the GOAT.

We don't unless he wants to stay the way McDaniels chose to stay in NE year after year. What does help is the incredibly tight relationship he and Allen seem to have and the fact that Daboll actually has roots in WNY. The positive I think is Dorsey will probably take over and will likely maintain some continuity.

And on top of that, there are also the "Interceptions-that-weren't." Josh has had a few of those this year, including one last night. I'm sure he'd take responsibility for all 15 turnovers as 15 turnovers is what he has right now. Nothing wrong with 39 TDs to 15 turnovers when you're 11-3 and the AFC East champions.

Correct

Yes, so 15 total turnovers even though I think it should be 14

Actually I undercounted. According to NFL.com he has 6 fumbles lost, so 15 turnovers. I think I didn't count the one that was a botched handoff that was attributed to him as a fumble.

What's the word on injuries to Diggs and White?

What'd we have... 3 TDs called back on penalties?

14

How so?

How about this year for Allen? Just unbelievable! This was just one of those games for Allen. And if not for penalties, Allen would have had even more passing TDs! Closing in on Kelly's passing TD record for Buffalo after breaking his total TD record last week. Closing in on 40 total TDs. 300 yard passing games are now routine. Another game 70% completion percentage after throwing 40+ times. It's stupid, but I wanted us to keep throwing it in the 4th quarter, but oh well. With Allen at the helm, we'll be competing for Super Bowls for the next couple decades if he can stay healthy. And I sure do hope Diggs is healthy 🙏

Sounds like no more Covid cases so game on...? Word

They test again tomorrow before the game, right? Kinda frustrating, but as long as they test again I'm good with us playing now that they abandoned today's practice and are doing contact tracing. The team already flew to Denver, right? We weren't doing same day flights.

Is this 2019 or is this 2020? 2020 6-1 at home -- 4-2 away What I said was accurate. Stop living in the past.

No. Our record is better at home than on the road. I would actually agree with the premise to some degree if we had fans because I believe that Allen feels more pressure playing in front of his home fans than in front of road fans cheering against him. I argued in his first couple years that he was better on the road than at home for that reason. But no, with no fans in the stands, we 100% want other QBs dealing with the January weather of Buffalo that Josh Allen was made for. And hopefully moving forward this year helped Josh become comfortable enough at the pro-level to get rid of those jitters and yips he seemed prone to in his first couple years in front of the home fans.

hammer indeed

This is pretty hilarious. I'm also impressed Cowherd took the bet. As much as I think he's a tool a lot of the time, he's very entertaining to listen to. And when he gets an idea, he's never lukewarm on that idea. He's almost always just all-in. Over the last 2 weeks you've seen him go from basically avoiding talking about Josh Allen when talking about how the Bills are a good team to talking about how he might be the 2nd best young QB in the NFL to Mahomes. It's kind of amazing. I'm terrified of the playoffs because I'm a Bills fan, but I do think it was a pretty good bet to make. I really, REALLY hope we pull the Colts in the first round. Dome team with a grandfather QB with nearly a dead arm who played most of his career in sunny San Diego coming to Buffalo for a January game? Good grief... I'll almost be even more worried about that game as a trap game. And then we could potentially get another home game?!?! Awesome!!! They should get Pinto Ron to do the honors and I hope to see Nick Wright's ugly mug full of ketchup and mustard

Can't John Brown come back this week? Wonder if we activate him. I really want him healthy in the playoffs. EDIT: My bad... just saw Yolo's thread.

I posted this tweet again because Joe B Makes commentary on it in his post-game reflection: https://theathletic.com/2259667/2020/12/14/bills-steelers-josh-allen/ 2) The unheralded, yet critical play to secure the win The Bills’ passing offense woke up in the third quarter and helped extend the lead to 16 points. The Steelers then answered with a touchdown drive to pull within eight points in the fourth quarter, making the Bills’ ensuing drive a vital one to close out the game. After one first down, the offense started to unravel. The offensive line allowed two straight pressures that forced Allen to get the ball out of his hands too quickly. Each of his throws, on first and second down, went past his intended target. Two incompletions later, it was 3rd-and-10 from the Bills’ own 47-yard line. There were still over 10 minutes left in the game, so a failed third-down attempt would have given the Steelers the ball back with a chance to tie the game. Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll got Isaiah McKenzie onto the field and split him out to the far right of the formation. On the same side of the field, but on the inside of McKenzie, were Diggs and tight end Dawson Knox. With the Steelers in man-to-man coverage, Daboll had both Diggs and Knox run short routes to the boundary to create traffic for McKenzie to run a short crossing route and, ideally, enough separation to get a first down. The route was there immediately and Allen got ready to throw the ball, but left guard Ike Boettger lost control of his pass-blocking assignment and Allen had to tuck the ball and side-step the pressure. After neutralizing the threat, Allen climbed the pocket and still found McKenzie, who then gained 12 yards for the first down. If Allen doesn’t have the presence of mind to reset and climb the pocket and then make an accurate throw, the Steelers likely would have gotten the ball back within five plays with plenty of time left on the clock. Instead, Allen and McKenzie made a play, and the Bills got down the field and kicked a field goal to pad their lead even more.

Go away Nick Wright.

My favorite thing to listen for in these videos every time they pop up are some combination of Barkley/Beasely/Feliciano (because I've heard all 3 of them have done it) scream "We love you Josh Allen" in a really high girly voice. And it's there at the end of this video again. Obviously I love the Allen hype up stuff, but to me it's those types of things that tell me these guys love each other, as McDermott likes to say.

What a moron
